Holocaust (hol'ukôst", ho'lu) key, name given
to the period of persecution and extermination of
European Jews by Nazi Germany. Although
anti-Semitism in Europe has a long history,
persecution of German Jews began with Hitler's
rise to power in 1933. Jews were disenfranchised,
then terrorized in anti-Jewish riots (such as
Kristallnacht), forced into the ghettos, their
property seized, and finally were sent to
concentration camps. After the outbreak of World
War II, Hitler established death camps to
secretly implement what he called the final
solution of the Jewish question. Extermination
squads were also sent to the fronts In one
operation alone, over 30,000 Jews were killed at
Babi Yar (Ukr. Babyn Yar), outside Kiev. After
450,000 Jews were sent to death camps from the
Warsaw Ghetto, news of their fate led the last
60,000 to rebel (1943), fighting until they were
killed, captured, or escaped to join the
resistance. The main Jewish resistance was
spiritual observing their religion and
refraining from suicide, while Zionists evacuated
some to Palestine. By the end of the war 6
million Jews had been systematically murdered.
The Allies refused rescue attempts and American
Jews were warned against attempting them. While
the European churches were silent, some clergy
and individual non-Jews saved many. The Danes
sent most Danish Jews to Sweden in private boats
while under German occupation.

ARMY LANGUAGE POLICY

IAW AR 600-20, Paragraph 4-13, English is the
operational language of the Army. Soldiers must
maintain sufficient proficiency in English to
perform their military duties. Their operational
communications must be understood by everyone who
has an official need to know their content, and,
therefore, must normally be English unless such
use is clearly necessary and proper for the
performance of military functions. Accordingly,
commanders may not require the use of English for
personal communications which are unrelated to
military functions.
